The lyman manuals highlight the most accurate loads for each bullet. They have 2 manuals. One is dedicated only for lead bullets and it's an excellent loading manual.

Lyman hasn't update the cast lead manual and included 300blk yet, but their other manual was recently updated (50th edition) and it includes some 160 grain cast lead loads. The powders they list are Rx7, H4189, IMR-3031, H335 and 2230. They highlighted the H335 as being the most accurate near the top end of the loading range. They have the starting load at 15.5 grains and the max is 20 grain. The bullet they used was the lyman #311672 seated to 2.050"
If you're using a different bullet or different seating depth you can send me a PM with the OAL of the actual projectile you want to use and the COAL you want to use and I can run the numbers in my quickload program to figure out the data.
Thanks Joe, I will sure get one, I am a fan of real books anyway,lol
I'd be interested in that 300AAC sub load as well.
I know we are getting a little off the subject, but it's still cast bullets, right! Lol.
